ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP

ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPION KUSHIDA vs. KENNY KING

The War of the Worlds Tour proved to be a turning point for KUSHIDA. KUSHIDA began the tour by defeating former ROH World Champion Jay Lethal and ended the tournament by defeating the ROH World Television Champion “The Villain” Marty Scurll to capture his first Ring of Honor championship!

In the ensuing weeks and months, KUSHIDA proved those victories were no flukes, winning five win or go-home matches en route to his second Best of Super Juniors Tournament win in three years, his fifth IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship, and a resounding victory in a rematch against the former champion Scurll at Best in the World!

KUSHIDA defended his championship against the talented young competitor from New Zealand Jay White on last week’s episode of ROH TV. After a grueling bout, KUSHIDA heads to Concord to take on the number one contender, Kenny King!

King has gained notoriety from his appearance on TV’s The Bachelorette and with that, the veteran star has had a career resurgence. King defeated the most ROH stars out of anyone in the Gauntlet for the Gold, bolstering his credentials heading into a Four Corner Survival Match to earn a TV Title shot. With the Rebellion disbanding, King has wasted no time picking a direction during a career-crossroads and is seeing his gamble on himself pay massive dividends. King defeated Mark Briscoe, Beer City Bruiser, and Chris Sabin on ROH TV and earned a ROH World Television Title shot!

KUSHIDA versus King is a first-time match up, pitting one of the fastest, crispest, most-technically sound stars in the world against a strong, explosive competitor just beginning to reach the peak of his career.
